Mazda MX-5-mad Brits will get two more exclusive branded models to choose from: the Niseko soft top and Niseko roadster coupe, named after the Niseko ski resort on the Japanese island of Hokkaido.

The entry-level model soft top is a 1.8-liter 5-speed going for £17,995, while the roadster coupe gets a 2.0-liter 6-speed and will set buyers back £19,995. Both come with £2,000 worth of extras, including Icy Blue Metallic or Sunlight Silver Metallic free of charge. They also sport 17-inch alloy wheels, body-color trim, chrome all over, icy blue stitching inside, and Niseko badging.

The models will go on sale January 1. Prime ordering for MX-5's in England begins in February, so get your orders in early -- there will only be 240 soft tops and 560 roadsters made. Follow the jump for the full press release, and check out the gallery of hi-res images below.
